Overwhelmed
Apr. 15 – I finally did it, I logged into Netflix for the first time and streamed Big Bang Theory until Netflix asked me if I was still there. It was a struggle to shrug of this general feeling of… maybe overwhelm. I think at day 20 the shock and awe of everything has worn off and I’m now processing the reality of the situation.
I’m glad I’m here for the lockdown and not at home where it’s cold, grey and snowing and where I would be in isolation completely on my own. But the unknowns of the distant future are starting to weigh on in. When the lockdown started there were 23 of us left over, now there are 21 and by the end of the month there may be less.
Living arrangements will probably change again and brings about questions of when, where, and with who. The only constant seems to be uncertainty and no amount of distractions is going to change that. We have two weeks to figure out what to do before our reservation ends and we’ll have to step out of our protected little bubble.
